construction of a new nature centre in Bradford West Gwillimbury</span><br></h1><h2>From: <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/office-infrastructure.html">Infrastructure Canada</a><br></h2><h3>News release</h3><p><strong>Bradford West Gwillimbury,
Ontario, June 20, 2022—Today</strong>, Tony Van Bynen, Member of Parliament for
Newmarket—Aurora, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of
Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, announced over
$4.1 million in federal funding for the construction of a new nature
centre in the Scanlon Creek Conservation Area.<br><br>With a net-zero carbon and universally accessible design,
the new Scanlon Creek Nature Centre will serve as a community hub where
residents of all ages and abilities can access nature and environmental
programming to learn about climate change and inspire action. The construction
of the new 750 square metre building will also allow the Lake Simcoe
Conservation Foundation to work with the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority to
meet the needs of the growing surrounding communities and provide more equitable
access for marginalized groups.<br><br>The Government of Canada is investing over $4.1 million
for this project through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB)
program.<br></p><h3>Quotes<br></h3><p>“Lake Simcoe is one of
Ontario’s iconic lakes. The new Scanlon Creek Nature Centre in Bradford West
Gwillimbury will offer all residents a place to learn more about the lake’s
ecosystem, climate action, and the steps we can take to build a healthier community.”<br><br>Tony Van Bynen, Member of Parliament
for Newmarket—Aurora, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of
Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities<br><br>“We are absolutely
thrilled that this exciting project has been selected for funding. The Scanlon
Creek Nature Centre will create the perfect space for watershed communities to
explore the many opportunities to participate in experiential learning and formulate
a connection with nature. This significant investment confirms our
understanding that our collective health is inexplicably tied to the health of
our ecosystems. Immersed in nature, this new facility will also serve as an
excellent demonstration site and a teaching tool for our foremost partner, the
Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, to educate students and visitors,
with the aim of inspiring future environmental champions. We thank the federal
government, Minister LeBlanc and Member of Parliament Van Bynen for this
wonderful opportunity.”<br><br>Cheryl Taylor, Executive Director,
